Researchers explore methods of using carefully controlled droplets
as a way to make soft, biomimetic structures. The trick comes in
controlling the droplets, which form under competing influences
like gravity...

One day in the not-too-distant future, the gases coming from power
plants and heavy industry, rather than spewing into the atmosphere,
could be captured and chemically transformed from greenhouse
gases...

Small molecules -- from naturally occurring metabolites and
hormones to synthetic medicines and pesticides -- can have big
effects on living things. But for scientists to understand how the
molecules...

Scientists describe how they simulated knife motion, washing and
scratching on bacteria-fighting, nanosilver-infused cutting boards
to see if consumer use affects nanoparticle release. The test
should help regulatory bodies identify...

Filtering and treating water, both for human consumption and to
clean industrial and municipal wastewater, accounts for about 13

290 million metric...

Americans in at least seven states voted on ballot initiatives
during the 2018 midterm elections. These measures targeted
everything from raising targets for the share of electricity drawn

In their catalytic center, hydrogenases manufacture molecular
hydrogen (H2) from two protons and two electrons. They extract the
protons required for this process from the surrounding water and
transfer them...
